“Critique the Community” is a photo contest that has been arranged by Fstoppers for quite a long time. Professional and amateur photographers are given the opportunity to download their work on Fstoppers Internet site to get feedback and to be rated by the community. This time was the theme “Black and White” and I decided to see what can happen to one of mine circus photographs. Their feedback of my shot begins at: 27:17 “Are These B&W Photos any Good” (Click the link)?

A noticeable improvement compared to the previous X100 models is a larger battery, additional control buttons and a joystick. The X100F is very easy to work with and also fits really well for the professional photographer.

Often when we are talking about photography many say that a good photographer can shoot good photos with any camera. This is true. Long experience probably gives you good skills to produce better images. But if you’re going to nail a huge nail into a piece of wood, what size of hammer do you choose? Yes, a tool that fits best for the job. Hasselblad X1D is one of the best tools I have had opportunity to shoot with.

Hasselblad X1D also has an incredible ability to capture details that the eye has not noticed. So, after one week of use; does it really matter? Yes absolutely, a good camera gives you more room to grow as a photographer!

The Tall Ships Regatta 2017 gave an opportunity for young people around the globe to meet each other. Some of the ships had young people from over 40 countries on board. The event was the largest ever organized in the city of Kotka (Finland) and I give the organizers my highest ratings for this week’s event.
All my images from the Tall Ships Races 2017 have been taken with Hasselblad’s new camera X1D.

One of the biggest attractions in The Tall Ships’ Races 2017 was the full-rigged vessel Shabab Oman II. This ship is built with good taste and high quality materials. The guest-minded staff made us to stay on the ship for a long time. On 7 May 2014 the ship was officially launched and named Shabab Oman II. She can reach a speed of 13 knots with all sails open.

As a little boy was my photographic dream to some day be published by National Geographic and to own a Hasselblad camera. The latter has not been met, but FIMEKO OY borrowed me the Hasselblad’s new digital camera X1D to photograph The Tall Ships Races here in my hometown Kotka, Finland for a time of one week.
